Hi Junior, again... 😆 would it be worth it at all for me to go with the combo of a ryzen 7 5800x and a 3070? It's like an extra 240 and I can easily grab that upgrade right now. What do you think?

Hey! If I remember your build correctly, there's a number of parts I'd change before upgrading to 5800X and 3070. Also from memory, you have a 1080p 144hz monitor, for which a 3070 would be pointless, unless you're looking to upgrade to 1440p imminently and really a 3060TI is still overkill. You could change to the 3060 and still have a fantastic experience.
As we've been through so many revisions and this thread is now 4 pages long would you be able to put what your build is looking like as of now, your new budget and if I'm correct about the monitor? if not what monitor do you have? Oh and the uses, I seem to remember it was gaming then you mentioned streaming, although i can't remember if that's right. Once we have all that info we can work it all out!
So its not so much a new budget, its just bits I can add on once I can afford them! I reckon I'll have an extra 2-300.
And monitor wise is fine, I'll be ordering one soon with a 300 pound budget.
And yes, streaming,gaming and the occasional video editing

Sorry for the delayed reply, I was just trying to find a build I was happy with and I think this is it. With all the playing around I was trying to do, I wasn't able to get a current gen Ryzen 7 in the build as it ideally needs an X570 motherboard and an improved AIO cooler (even without I wasn't able to get it there). If someone else is able to we'll see but this is what I've settled onSo its not so much a new budget, its just bits I can add on once I can afford them! I reckon I'll have an extra 2-300.

-Changed to WiFi motherboard as it's cheaper than Non-wifi board + card
-Upgraded to 32GB 3600mhz in 2x16GB for the video editing and streaming
-Changed to the 6700XT. At it's current price it represents great value for money compared to the 3060TI, performs between the 3060TI and 3070 but costs less than the 60TI (cheaper than 60TI by £100 currently). Plus it's currently not on pre-order so should go into build quickly after making changes considering you've already been waiting a while.
-Changed storage to a 500GB Gen 4 M.2 SSD for speedy loading times into windows and kept the 1TB PCS M.2 for games
-Upgraded to the RMx 850W PSU
-Removed the WiFi card
For cases, I remember you changed to the 220T which is a great little case and one you can keep if you'd like. Or you can change to the TD500 which is another good case, it's larger so has more space for upgradability although is slightly more expensive.
That's the best I could come up with, but it might be worth waiting for for some responses from the valued contributors and moderators as they can do amazing things with budgets and may be able to squeeze stuff in where I haven't been able to!
For your £300 monitor budget. That will get you a 1440p 144hz monitor such as the form favourite Samsung G5 or AOC CQ27G2U which will be a great pairing with the 6700XT

Brilliant, again thank you for your time and patience! I'll be able to amend my order on Friday with hope 🤞🤞 I'm excited a over again! 😁
I can't wait to show it off now 😁 Thanks again Junior, I imagine this will be my final build 😂
My little machine is now built and in testing fellas! No more changes now 😁
Again thank you for all you help, this is a bloody great forum!
Is this the monitor you mentioned or should I go for the AOC one?

Fantastic, I'm excited for pictures! It's not quite the right monitor. Below are the links you'll need. For which one you choose, the Samsung G5 is a very popular monitor on this forum. I know @Martinr36 has one and loves it, although in this comparison, it is beaten by the AOC (it's also about £20 cheaper too). If you're not a fan of curved panels, the AOC does come in a flat panel version also linked belowMy little machine is now built and in testing fellas! No more changes now 😁

Thanks again!
I'm really digging the AOC just because I like their design! Ima look more onto both and then decide, big decision ahead😬
I really feel like I should be paying you 😅

To be honest I prefer the AOC too, looks much better in my opinion. Realisitcally, you won't make the wrong decsion, both of them are great monitors.
LOL I'm glad to hear I've been that much help, but my advice isn't that good 😂 All the thanks you've been giving me is more than enough!
Ima go for the AOC I think!
Well I really do appreciate everything and can't wait to post pictures 😁😁
Thanks Junior!
So I've received my PC but my graphics card only has 1 HSMI port aswell as my monitors. Which is the Samsung G5 and oh my god it's beyond sexual.
I've seen that the 6700XT has another port for monitors which I can't remember which is supposed to be quality but I can't find what port will fit into my Monitor. I'm trying to find out because I have a ps4 I use too.
I know this seems a lazy post but I can't bloody get my head around the ports 🤦♂️ I'm basically daft...
Anyone know what those ports are

LOL, I'm glad you like the monitor 😂
It's likely the other ports on the GPU are Display ports.
If you have a DisplayPort wire (one should have come with the monitor), I'd use that for your PC then use the HDMI for your PS4. Also it'd be great to see some pictures!
Honestly I'm so glad I went with it, I'm in love.
And ohhhh yes they're familiar, thanks again!
And I will this weekend, I'm trying to sort abit of cable management for a nice photo 😂😂 but It's going to come.
And you gave me a bloody amazing PC, I'm inlove so I owe you 10! 😁
Did someone say cable management?

I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it! If the cable managment is neat enough you might just make it into @AgentCooper 's Amazing Spaces!
It's been a great process, a long one that's had lots of changes but a great one. I'm glad we finally got there and you're enjoying the final outcome!
Edit: It looks like I spoke too soon, Agent Cooper has already clocked on! You better be ready to impress!
Hahahah and so he has! I don't understand how people can get them looking amazing, it's beyond me...I'm happy to hear you're enjoying it! If the cable managment is neat enough you might just make it into @AgentCooper 's Amazing Spaces!

And I'm so grateful, it was indeed a long process but I'm so satisfied with the outcome due to you 😁😁
Just a quick question with my build, I tried streaming Warzone the other day and during gameplay it works great, doesn't drop a frame. But when the cinematics play it skips frames and looks really clunky, my upload speed is 18mb and I'm streaming in 720. I don't suppose anyone with abit of a streaming background is able to help?
I have seen people mention Warzone can be abut clunky but I'm seeking a tad advice if anyone is able to
